Clair Obscur won multiple awards but used generative AI art as placeholders during production.
The Indie Game Awards revoked Clair Obscur’s Debut and Game of the Year after the AI disclosure.
IGAs reassigned the awards (Blue Prince, Sorry We’re Closed) and reignited debate on gen-AI use.
Yea, and those people are wrong and dumb. To completely disqualify a game for simply using placeholder AI art work is idiotic. You’re welcome to disagree as well, but I’m gonna call a spade a spade.
